Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 966  Inside The Pillar Of Light (Part 2)

Evan didn't care too much about the mid-level Rank Three Eldritch Goblin that he had just killed and looked around his surroundings.

Inside the pillar of light, the floor he was standing on was made of hard, polished stone, similar to the materials from which the altar was made.

The area was lit with a deep purple light, casting an eerie glow over the place. The sky was an empty black void with no end in sight and the most strange thing was that the space inside the pillar of light was a few thousand kilometers wide.

"It must be the work of a space-expanding formation or something..." Evan muttered in a low voice, surprised by the vastness of the area within the pillar of light.

As he looked around, not far away from him, Evan saw sEldritch Goblins wandering aimlessly as if they had nothing to do.

He couldn't determine the number of the Eldritch Goblins, but from the looks of it, he felt there were at least a few thousand.

Although there were a few thousand Eldritch Goblins inside the pillar of light, the thing that attracted his attention the most was an area about a few hundred kilometres away from him.

The area was filled with black smoke and even from a distance, he could hear a sizzling sound coming from there as if something was burning there.

From tto time, a golden glow would erupt from the black smoke as if trying to prevent the smoke from spreading to other areas.

Although Evan couldn't see clearly because of the interference from the black smoke, he felt the area covered in black smoke was an altar and something was plunged in the middle of it.

"I can feel Elora's presence from there," Evan muttered in a low voice as he looked at the area filled with black smoke.

He tried to use his shadow wings to fly towards the altar, but as soon as he flew a few meters above the ground, a force erupted from his surroundings and pushed him back towards the ground.

Evan frowned when he was pushed back to the ground and stopped using shadow wings.

"It seems I can't fly here," He said in a low voice, but looking at the black smoke-filled area which was just a few hundred kilometres away, he didn't care too much about it and decided to head there on foot.

As Evan took a step forward to move towards the altar, he saw a group of the Eldritch Goblins who were wandering aimlessly turn their heads and look at him.

Upon seeing him, their hollow eyes lit up like stars as if they had seen something delicious and they all rushed towards him like hungry beasts.

Evan looked at the group of around thirty Eldritch Goblins rushing towards him and noticed that the strongest among them was a beginner-level Rank Three goblin, while the rest were Rank One or Rank Two.

Although this group of Eldritch Goblins was quite strong, Evan just sneered when he saw them and summoned the seven beginner-level Rank Three shadow undeads that he had created earlier.

The giant, one hundred meter long snake, the strongest among the seven shadow undeads hissed upon being called out by Evan and its purple burning eyes shone with an ominous light.

The ice titan bear, the second strongest among the rank three shadow undeads also roared and both of them led the other five shadow undeads to deal with the group of Eldritch Goblins.

With only a single beginner-level Rank Three goblin in the group, it was impossible for the goblins to face the shadow undeads.

The giant snake was the fastest and arrived in front of the Rank Three Eldritch Goblin in an instant.

Seeing the black snake, the eyes of the Eldritch Goblin shone menacingly and its face swelled up like a balloon.

Once the goblin's face was around one meter in diameter, it opened its mouth wide, showing sharp razor-like teeth and tried to chew down the snake.

Upon noticing what the Eldritch Goblin was trying to do, the snake hissed in anger and a look of disdain flashed in its eyes.

The body of the snake lit up and soon, its entire body was covered in green dragon-like scales.

The Eldritch Goblin bit down on the green scales of the snake, but when the sharp teeth of the goblin, which were infused with Eldritch Energy cinto contact with the scales, other than cracking them a bit, they were not able to do any significant damage.

The Eldritch Goblin was stunned when it saw its attack was completely useless and wanted to attack once again, but before it could...

Hiss!

The snake hissed with a venomous look on its face and spat out a green flonto the Eldritch Goblin's body.

The Eldritch Goblin was still biting on the scales of the snake and was very close, so when the snake spat out the green flame, it wasn't able to dodge it.

The Eldritch Energy around the goblin tried to stop the green flame, but to the goblin's horror, the green flcompletely ignored the Eldritch Energy and engulfed its body.

"Grughhh!"

A painful scream escaped the Eldritch Goblin's mouth and it started to roll on the ground to extinguish the green flame.

Surprisingly, even though the goblin was rolling on the ground in pain, there wasn't even a single burn on its body and its purple skin looked completely fine.

When Evan saw what was happening with the beginner-level Rank Three goblin, he shook his head.

"The flof this guy is truly strange. This fldoesn't do any physical damage but directly targets the soul of the victim..." He said in a deep voice and felt it was a pity that he couldn't use this flame.

If this flhad originated from a skill or authority of the snake, he could have used the second effect of Growth Link to take that skill or authority. Unfortunately, this flwas an innate ability of the snake, so Evan couldn't take it.

After being struck by the green flthat directly burned its soul, the beginner-level Rank Three goblin wasn't able to do anything and was soon killed by the shadow undead of the snake.

The ice titan bear and the other five Rank Three shadow undeads also finished off the rest of the Eldritch Goblins who cwith the Rank Three goblin.

Because of the fight, the other Eldritch Goblins who were wandering not far away were attracted and soon Evan saw many other goblins rushing towards his shadow undeads.

Seeing hundreds of Eldritch Goblins coming towards his shadow undeads, Evan released more of his shadow undeads to kill them as soon as possible.

While his shadow undeads rushed forward to fight, Evan walked towards the dead Rank Three goblin and used Shadow Resurrection to turn it into a shadow undead.

Under the effect of the Shadow Resurrection, the beginner-level Rank Three goblin soon rose in front of him and kneeled down.

Evan's expression remained unchanged when he saw this and he asked the Eldritch Goblin the question that was bothering him.

"What are you goblins doing in this place?"
